Excerpt from Life of Saint Cecilia: Virgin and Martyr
In offering to the American public, a translation of the life of St. Cecilia, by the learned and laborious Dom Prosper Gueranger, the publisher feels assured he has made a valuable addition to our too narrow circle of Catholic literature.
The Church offers, in every age, in her Saints, Apostles, and Martyrs, brilliant examples of virtue, zeal, and heroic courage. While all are holy, there are still some, whose lives present features, at once so touching and sublime, that time can detract nothing from the interest which attaches to their names in every Catholic heart. Pre-eminent among these, is St. Cecilia, the gentle queen of Sacred Song, distinguished alike for her attachment to holy Virginity, her apostolic zeal, and the unfaltering courage by which she won the martyr's crown.
The author has followed with fidelity, the ancient Acts of St. Cecilia, the authenticity of which the reader will find satisfactorily defended in his pages.
